    @Gertjan I have not set that in Unbound. No Python Module is active there. I saw that in another thread but I don't think it will change anything. Also which of these settings for the unbound python mode should be enabled here? [image: 1754379047075-settings.png] I also have no script to select under Unbound: [image: 1754379337036-unbound.png]

    @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: Interesting. I would have thought the initial reboot, which occurred as part of the upgrade, would have done the trick, but it took a second reboot, just now, to get things working. Glad you have it sorted. There was no difference in the output of usbconfig show_ifdrv at any point -- before or after unplugging/replugging the USB cable, nor after rebooting. ... Question: What would tell me whether or not a driver was loaded? If there were an attached driver, it should have shown up with the show_ifdrv command. If you use the command and look at the other usb devices, I think they will show attached drivers. I don't expect to see a driver attached to the ups, because there is a quirk that tells the OS to ignore that device (and not attach a driver). Look for idVendor and idProduct in the above output. The Vendor ID for your device is 0764, which corresponds to Cyber Power Systems, and the Product ID for your device is 0601, which is registered as "PR1500LCDRT2U UPS" (don't sweat an exact match for the name). You can see the quirk with the following command: [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: usbconfig dump_device_quirks | grep 0764 VID=0x0764 PID=0x0005 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0501 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0601 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: Your device is third on the list. The HID_IGNORE quirk says to ignore the device and not attach a driver. @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: You might consider adding this resolution to the release notes for 2.8. LOL... sorry, I don't have input to the release notes (I don't work here). While I wrote and maintain various packages, including NUT, I'm still just a volunteer. Most packages are actually written by volunteers.

    @EChondo What's your pfSense version ? The instructions are shown here : [image: 1753262126227-1acdc586-cb29-4148-9e36-81ade4e5e60c-image.png] A restart of a service will start by re creating their config files. If a certificate changed, it will get included. When the process starts, it will use the new certificate. @EChondo said in Issue with ACME Certificates Refresh & Restarting HAProxy: I haven't been able to confirm if the above works(mine just renewed, don't feel like doing it again just to test), so we'll see in 60 days I guess. No need to wait x days. You can re test / renew right away, as you are 'allowed' to renew a couple (5 max ?) of times per week.

    @Gertjan said in can I install a FreeBSD 14 pkg on a FreeBSD 15 pfSense?: If the package contains binaries : forget it. The ABI is different. It's not a hard and fast rule like that. It depends upon what the binary is, what dependencies it has, and how everything was compiled. I am currently running a binary package, which was built on FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE, on pfSense 25.07 (FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT) without issue.

    Hi again, to be honest: I guess, I did not remember exactly what I did 2 years ago. May I was mistaken by the interface name opt2 because the SG-3100 has a physical port OPT1 and I mixed up physical and virtual names. The goal was to use 2 different tunnels, one for the mobile clients and one for the site-2-site connection. And now all is running in that way . Regards

    Hey guys.  Sorry to revive a thread but I figured the important people are all here. I was wondering if someone could help with the stunnel package?  Here's the problem we're having in the latest version. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=142463 It doesn't seem to be running on a reboot, so it's probably just missing an entry somewhere to start it?  I assume it would be easy for a Linux/BSD guy to fix, but alas that's not me. Thank you!

    I am about to give up on the Avahi package. After uninstalling it and waiting for a day, I reinstalled the package and then my hardwired desktop on subnet A was able to discover and manage/cast to the Chromecast devices on subnet B.  Then a day later, with no changes, the desktop can no longer see the Chromecast devices. The only thing that would have changed is that unbound was restarted by pfBlockerNG DNSBL over night. I uninstalled the Avahi package and will try again one more time.

    @johnpoz: if your goal is to just strip out netflix AAAA you can do that much easier with a python script you can get running in unbound.. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=134352.0 Netflix and HE.net tunnel fixed using Unbound python module That is… not what I would call "much easier", given how much hand-hacking is required.  The nice feature of the DNS method is that it's all standard packages, entirely controlled via the webconfigurator, using built-in features (Unbound's domain overrides and BIND's AAAA-stripping).  The only tweaking by hand that I've done is to work around what strikes me as a package misconfiguration, in that neither resolver can be told to listen on a different port for remote controls.  The fact that Unbound's configuration includes the defaults at the end rather than the beginning seems to me to be a bug, but I don't want to have that fight. And in fact, I bet that somebody really good at BIND configs could accomplish the same thing using only named, no script fiddling needed, and turning off Unbound entirely.  (I am not that person.  I've spent too much of my life being pissed off at BIND.) But it's good that there are multiple ways to solve Netflix and other organizations' stupidity!  The people who love getting their hands into scripts will prefer the method you linked.  I was that person when I was younger, but I don't want that kind of thing on my homelab anymore.  :-)  I do like that Unbound can use python that way now. @Napsterbater: Unrelated, safe to ignore. pfSense/kernel does not currently support TCP Fast Open, which is all that warning is telling you. Yeah, I just this morning found a discussion on a mailing list describing how ISC's configuration on this feature is really, really braindead.  It's apparently turned on/off by what the kernel on the build machine can do, and there's no way to control it other than editing the generated header file, e.g., post-config sed script.  Anything at runtime not matching what the build machine used ends up reported as "unexpected error". Come to think of it, stuff like this is why I stopped using BIND…  auuugh I drank heavily to purge the memories of those years now it's all coming back noooo

    @slkamath: I tried running the below command, after that package manager is not showing. echo 'dnsthingy:{url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/downloads.dnsthingy.com/pfsense/pkg/'uname -m'",enabled: yes}' > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/dnsthingy.conf I tried this before upgrade and tried after upgrade to 2.4.2-RELEASE-p1. No luck. SO i think problem with the command. You are poking files into /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos … Something coming from "googleapis.com" .... "dnsthingy"  :o At least I'm sure now something isn't working well.

    Contact the support team at https://customercare.netgate.com and someone can help you track that down. Unfortunately that one is a bit generic so it's hard to say. It looks like some kind of connectivity or DNS issue from the firewall itself. Though if you can install the package it should have good working connectivity to all of the pfSense servers. First, make sure that you can check for updates and that pfSense is fully up-to-date as well.

    I'd also like to know how to configure this on an amd64 setup. Is it a simple matter of copying over the relevant .ko files into /boot/kernel and configuring loader.conf? I don't need 'much' in the way of video features, just blank the screen after a timeout, and wake it when there's local keyboard activity.  Don't need resolution control, hardware acceleration or any of that.

    @MichaelB: Upgraded to the latest Snort version. Now it seems like the full_syslog_full is working, but ONLY if you send it to a remote syslog server. So you can't send full events to a local syslog. I just modified my grok rules to be able to catch syslog events forwarded from the local system to a remote syslog (via status => system logs), but that format is different when you send them directly from snort to a remote syslog. I think it should work, I'll modify the grok rules later today. However, to improve consistency with other logs forwarded via the system, perhaps it is a good idea to also allow "local full syslog complete" . In other words, now I have: output log_syslog_full: sensor_name snort.WAN, server 192.168.2.2, protocol udp, port 514, operation_mode complete, payload_encoding hex, log_facility LOG_USER, log_priority LOG_INFO Which gives a different format on my remote syslog server then when using the following in combination with remote logging via the status => system logs setting: output log_syslog_full: sensor_name snort.WAN, operation_mode complete, payload_encoding hex, log_facility LOG_USER, log_priority LOG_INFO Kr, Michael I did in fact code it so that full packet capture only works to a remote syslog server.  It is not a good idea to fill up your local firewall system log with full packet captures, so I elected to not make that available.

    Hi bmeeks I have checked my settings and I do not have the RamDisk setting on. As I am new to pfSense can you list the steps to check? So far I have uninstalled Snort and them installed again keeping my original settings. There may be something that I have checked that is interfering with the download. Not sure what it is through.
